The Whittier House Social Settlement, the first settlement house in New Jersey, was established in Jersey City, N.J. (Hudson County) in 1894. Founded by Cornelia Foster Bradford, who would remain with the organization as headworker until 1926, Whittier House was based on the settlement house, Toynbee Hall, in England. Whittier House provided various recreational and educational programs, along with much needed social services, for the immigrant populations of Jersey City. Many of these successful services were used as models for large-scale social reform movements through the state. In 1935, the Whittier House was taken over by the Boys' Club of Jersey City

Autonomous nudges and AI choice architects – where does responsibility lie in computer mediated decision making?
No full textAI and algorithms shape many aspects of our everyday life, from the familiar algorithms structuring our social media feeds, to those subtly transforming more complex fields, such as policymaking and commerce. Stuart Mills argues that as these choice architects become increasingly autonomous and automatic, and produce nudges that are difficult if not impossible to explain, there is a need to reassess the ethical limits underpinning how and who is nudged

John Stuart Mill’s projected science of society: 1827-1848
No full textThe purpose of the thesis is to examine John Stuart Mill’s political thought from
about 1827 to 1848 as an exercise in intellectual history. It focuses, first, on Mill’s view,
formulated by the late 1830s, that contemporary society was ‘civilized’, and second, on
his project of a science of society, which he aspired to develop in the late 1830s and
early 1840s.
By the late 1830s, Mill came to the view that his contemporary society was a
‘commercial society or civilization’, dominated by the middle, commercial class. The
first part of my thesis, constituted by Chapters 2-4, discusses the way in which Mill
formed his notion of civilization, and what he meant by the term ‘civilization’. Mill paid
attention to the implications of the rise of the middle class, and regarded such
phenomena of contemporary society as the corruption of the commercial spirit and
excessive social conformity as an inevitable consequence of the rise of the middle class.
The second part of the thesis, constituted by Chapters 5-9, examines Mill’s
projected science of society. In the late 1830s and early 1840s, Mill attempted to
develop a new science of society whose subject-matter was the nature and prospects of
commercial, civilized society. This aspiration culminated in A System of Logic,
published in 1843. In examining Mill’s projected science, I pay particular attention to
the fact that he conceived new sciences of history and of the formation of character,
both of which were indispensable in his project, although he failed to give a complete
account of these sciences. My thesis shows that the implications of his interest both in
history and in the formation of character are more significant than Mill scholars have
assumed

Róttæk fyrir sinn tíma?: Femínísk kenning John Stuart Mills í ljósi róttæks femínisma
No full textFrjálslyndur femínismi er gjarnan kenndur við réttindabaráttu kvenna um aldamótin 1900. Róttækur femínismi er iðulega kenndur við kvenfrelsisbaráttu síðari hluta 20. aldar. En þessar stefnur bera kennileg einkenni umfram söguleg einkenni sín. Hér er greining Alison M. Jaggar á róttækum og frjálslyndum femínískum kenningum höfð að leiðarljósi til að skoða hvort tala megi um róttækan femínisma sem eiginlega stefnu í tímalausum skilningi. Þá er stefnan sem slík borin saman við kenningu John Stuart Mills um kúgun kvenna og tekist á við spurninguna hvort telja megi Mill til róttækra femínista. Ef femínísk kenning Mills er róttæk fyrir sinn tíma, vaknar sú spurning hvort skilgreina megi róttækan femínsima sem heilsteypta stefnu óbundna sögunni
